~Cara's POV~

   So after the boys visiting me in the hospital, they called up Simon. He said for us to stay in L.A. at my house. My house was big enough for all of them. I had three guest rooms, with king size beds. I don't know why, but I had a feeling that one day I would be ready to face the boys, so I kept guest rooms. So Niall will be sharing my bed, Liam and Zayn are sharing a bed, Harry and Courtney are sharing a bed (I will burn the bed afterwards), and Louis has the bed to himself.  I told Louis if he would like Niall with him but he told us that Niall and I should spend time together, wiggling his eyebrows afterwards.

  I thought I would go for a walk, even though it's the middle of the night. It's about 9 am but I always go on walks after midnight. This city doesn't sleep, the lights are always on, and the cars are always honking. I slipped out of Niall's embrace and suddenly felt cold and hollow. I ignored the feeling, now that I'm used to it and kissed Niall on the forehead. I scribbled a note and left in on the side table. I took my phone in case anyone calls, and some money. 

  I was just walking and suddenly I bumped into someone. I heard them groan, it sounded kind of like a girl. I looked up and saw a girl who was a little taller than me, at least an inch shorter than Harry; she was a brunette with curly hair with an eye color between green and brown. 

  "I'm so sorry." She said in a southern accent. I love southern accents, I always wanted one. She seemed like a sweet girl, I wish she was with Harry instead of Courtney. Wait, I felt a light bulb go off in my mind. That was a perfect idea. 

   "Oh no problem, what's your name?" I said in my kindest voice. She looked at me and her smile brightened. 

  "My name is Caroline. Pleasure to meet ya." She said I took in what she was wearing and saw she was wearing short shorts, but not the slutty kind; it actually looked really well on her. She had a hoodie, which had the words forever, on it. Her hair was in a high ponytail, and right now, I couldn’t help but envy her beauty.

  "I'm Cara." I said. I hoped she would recognize me.

  "Are you Cara Jansen? Opps sorry was that a bit rude to ask?" She said with worry in her eyes, god I couldn't have been more jealous. I smiled, Harry would love her.

   "No, I am Cara Jansen and since you bumped into me and I need a friend. Would you mind coming over to my house for dinner?" I said in a voice that sounded fun and care free. She smiled and nodded. 

  "Wait we should get Starbucks." She said I nodded and we went in and got eight Mocha Frappuccinos and ten cookies. 

A/N: Just to make you hungry, I put a picture on the side. Sorry for the craving but I still Love you :) *Insert mocking smirk*

  We split the payment because we both didn't have enough money, so if we combined it we had enough. We carried the food and each snuck one cookie, on our way home we laughed, gossiped and had great fun. I found out Caroline lives alone and I told her she is free to visit me anytime.  When I checked the time I was surprised to see it was 12 am. We rushed to my house and saw everyone was up except Zayn, Harry and Courtney awake. 

  "Cara, what did I tell you about bringing strangers home?' Louis said in a joking fatherly voice. I chuckled and Caroline seemed normal around the boys, I'm so glad she didn't freak out, but looking at her coughing after drinking her Frap, I guess she was freaking out on the inside. 

  "This is my friend Caroline." I said and we both handed out the fraps and cookies. They all thanked us and began to eat. I sat with Niall and Caroline sat next to Liam. 

 "Nice to meet y'all." She said, her Sothern accent making her voice sound unique. 

"Nice to meet you too." Liam said, because he was the only one without a cookie stuck in his mouth. Just then Courtney and Harry came down.  

 "Caroline, why don’t you hand them the food, Niall hand is holding me down." I said as Niall blushed and loosened his hold on my waist. Caroline smiled and got the Frap and cookies and handed them to Harry and Courtbitch, I-I mean Courtney, wait no screw it, Courtbitch. Courtney grabbed it like Caroline was her slave but Harry took it with care and he smiled, a real smile, not a smirk. 

  "Thank you Caroline." Harry said sending her a toothy grin. Caroline sent a friendly smile back, knowing that he was taken. I don't think Caroline would even date one of the boys until she was great friends with them or got my permission. This girl is like PERFECT. Caroline settled down next to Liam, he smiled and winked at her. Wait, does Liam like her too? He's not with Danielle, so he might like Caroline. An awkward silence fell across the table, but was broken when Zayn stumbled down the stairs. I peeled Niall's arm from around my waist. I grabbed the Frappuccino and cookie and handed it to Zayn, who suddenly woke up. 

 "Thanks Perrie." He mumbled. I rolled my eyes and flicked the top of his head. "Oh, I mean thanks Cara." He said yawning. We all laughed except Courtbitch.

"And who might you be" Zayn said settling across from Caroline. She smiled and replied. 

"I'm Caroline, Cara's friend. I would tell y'all to call me Cara as a nickname but, we already have a Cara." She said pointing to me, as a struck a silly pose. Everyone chuckled, except Courtney who got up and left the table with an annoyed looked at her face. 

"I like her." Zayn said sipping his frap, pointing at Caroline. We all agreed,  I'm glad I bumped into Caroline.
